Patient's question:
Hello doctor! I'm over six weeks pregnant and have a fungal vaginal infection. My hands are so cold in winter that they crack and peel, and I just washed my underwear in a container. Will I get infected into the bloodstream,...Doctor's answer:
Based on the information you described, it can be inferred that even if you have a cut on your hand, even if you are not wearing gloves, while washing underwear, this will never infect your bloodstream. If you have already gone to a formal public hospital for a thorough examination and the diagnosis is candidiasis, you can be appropriately treated with vaginal medication under the guidance of a doctor. Vaginal medication is also possible during pregnancy. Pay attention to hygiene and maintain clean external genitalia. The daily treatment for vaginitis patients mainly involves symptomatic treatment. Patients can take some oral medications, supplemented with vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoid cold foods.
